Our daughter Sarah is getting married in two short weeks to a wonderful young man named Jeff. It is getting exciting around our Plano house. One thing that I have really enjoyed is getting the opportunity to talk about our wedding a scant 30 years ago in October. By telling the stories about our wedding, I have been able to once again appreciate just how much fun I had that day. Of course, many things have changed in 30 years but I think that weddings are more personal and less formulaic than in the past. Plus the clothing choices are better. The late 1970's were kind of a fashion disaster.
But the down side has been that Mark is in Taipei, working and not here with me. I know that many people are separated for much longer periods of time but after 30 years of being together, I miss the guy when we're apart. It is part of the life style that families on ex-pat assignments have to expect. Fortunately, he'll be here on Thursday, in time for all the festivities.
